Starbucks à la Française

Coffee Break @ Starbucks

Starbucks in France do not have the same drinks as the ones in the states. This one was a Hazelnut and Caramel latte (Latte Noisette Caramel). It was perfect for my relaxing mental health day.

But the day would have been better if it was Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint Mocha, but sadly France doesn't have these saveurs.

What is your favorite Starbucks drink either American or French ?

Guess what this is : Pumpkin Answer

It's French name is potimarron and it's English name is a Red Kuri. Thanks to this website I was able to learn more information about the red kuri.

I decided that I was going to treat it like a pumpkin anyway. A food blog that I like to check out "The Pioneer Woman" had perfect ideas on how to make pumpkin puree and roast the seeds. The only thing I have to say is that the red kuri had a lot of water in it and the skin didn't want to come off.

I ended up making red kuri pogaca (like a scone/biscuit) but I put brown sugar on top, thanks to another recipe found on "Almost Turkish" (I will post the other pogaca I made later).

I also made muffins and roasted the seeds. I bought some more at the market in Versailles, possibly I will soup or a red kuri bundt cake! or red kuri pumpkin spice lattés - since the Starbucks here is way too cool to make them.

What do you do with pumpkin ?
